Halloween brings out the spooky spirit of each and everyone of us. We can reveal our dark side without worrying about the consequences. Some of us like to maintain that spirit all year round through dark art. That being said, here’s some spooky and dark Halloween mosaic art that express volumes of emotions and you can keep all year round. Let’s get into the Halloween spirit, and discover mosaic art that transcends this holiday!

Art has always been a medium for human expression and artists put a lot of soul and emotions into their paintings, but sometimes, the stories behind certain paintings are much more chilling than the art itself. Haunted paintings, believed to be imbued with the spirits of their creators or subjects, have long been a source of fascination and fear. As Halloween approaches, we will take you on a bone-chilling journey through the top 5 most haunted paintings from around the world.

What inspires you?
I am inspired by everything ranging from people, my past experiences, and especially music. Even though there are so many different people in my life, they each serve an important purpose in life and help me grow. After deciding to seriously pursue art, I realized that everybody expresses themselves through a form of art, whether they realize it or not. I am a strong believer in experiences telling the tale of your life, so my paintings are created in a way to tell stories from my past experiences. Music is an important aspect of my life so it is attached to every piece of work I have created. When looking at my past work, I can recall what music I was listening to which also reminds me of how I was feeling at that moment. Lana Del Rey, who I discovered in the 9th grade, has been the most impactful artist for me and she is a part of almost every piece of art that I have created since high school.
Why are you drawn to this subject?
Before creating this collection and being introduced to abstract art, I had the wrong perception that art had to be “clean” and “perfect. I used to believe that realistic paintings were the basis of creative art and that every line and detail had to be perfect. My first submission piece for this exhibit was out of my comfort zone because there was no plan and it was all emotion, which is what my past work was about. I enjoy creating abstract art because I had the opportunity to explore a new way of expression and could use so many different skills and techniques to create texture. Abstract art unlocked a different artistic skill that I did not know that I had and I will definitely will be exercising it in the future.
What is your collection about?
My collection focuses on my favourite pieces of work that I have created so far. I was finally able to step out of my comfort zone during the creative process, as I used different materials and an even bigger canvas. This collection tells my story of this past summer and all of the amazing opportunities that I had. I was able to discover new skills, such as murals, and experienced a new feeling of motivation and confidence towards my creative artwork. I am excited to be a part of an exhibition in a gallery that I have admired for a long time. It’s about being sure that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
The Joker
“I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve.”
We are all familiar with one of the Joker’s famous quotes, let alone the amazing acting in The Dark Knight. The Joker has been one of the most recreated costumes for Halloween, and we are positive 2020 is going to bring many more amazing recreations. What many like more than dressing up as the character is what he stands for, and the ideas he spreads throughout the movie and comics.
This Halloween art will always remain as a mural to remind us of the shadows within. This part of us that always craves to break the rules. The character also explores the concept of “illusory superiority” which always makes us think that we are too noble, and our mistakes are too little. The shadow within us will clash will this superiority and destroy it eventually. At Mozaico, we can customize any design to create the mosaic art that inspires you and reflects your ideology.
A Parallel Universe
Halloween 2020 isn’t only about spooky and scary characters, it’s also when our imagination is unleashed. Through the characters that we impersonate, we release our dreams and demons all at once. 2020 has been a shock to all of us, the year keeps getting worse exactly when we think we reached the peek of disaster. This year made us live in our own worlds, of dreams and we are getting in the Halloween spirit to breathe life into those fantasies. The Parallel Universe mosaic art is an escape, a happy place that you can escape to whenever you get lost in this mosaic.
The House of Horrors
Halloween horror isn’t only about characters, it is also about scary places that make our hearts skip a beat, and not in a good way. But let’s admit that this House of Horrors has a sense of comforting isolation that is relaxing whenever one travels into this mosaic artwork. This Halloween art will be a great hanging of an eerie abandoned house is a realistic piece of mosaic wall art that will always bring back spooky childhood memories and make you think of the parts of you that are buried deep and left behind.
